Hello guys, I just got into water chemistry, got my water report from my water provider. I also use a 5 μm activated carbon filter for chlorine removal. In a recent BBQ meetup to my LHBS we were chatting with some folks and they mentioned that the carbon filter changes the water chemistry a bit (raises the pH and whatnot). Have you guys ever heard of such thing? If yes, did you check the differences, and, are they major enough to mess with your calculations based on your water report? The thing is, I don't see how this could happen, since only the chlorine is filtered. Any thoughts? Cheers
